Federal Government Shutdown Enters Second Week as White House Issues Executive Orders
October 11, 2025 — The federal government shutdown, now in its eleventh day, continues to impact government operations and federal employees nationwide after Congress failed to pass necessary appropriations legislation before the October 1 deadline.
Shutdown Impact Deepens
The appropriations failure has resulted in widespread furloughs of federal workers and significant curtailment of government services across multiple agencies. The shutdown affects hundreds of thousands of federal employees and threatens the continuity of essential services as the stalemate between Congress and the White House persists.
White House Activity Continues
Despite the shutdown, the Trump administration has continued issuing executive orders throughout 2025, with recent directives addressing national emergencies and military-related matters. Multiple executive orders have been published through official White House channels in recent days, though specific details of their content remain under review.
Navy Anniversary Commemorated
In a separate development, the White House issued an official proclamation on October 10, 2025, commemorating the “250th Anniversary of the Founding of the United States Navy,” marking a historic milestone for the nation’s naval forces.
The shutdown shows no signs of immediate resolution as both sides remain entrenched in their positions over budget priorities and spending levels.
